LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. — Lebanon County is toying with the idea of adding a four-legged employee to its courthouse staff.
According to executive director Deb Tack, the dogs start at Susquehanna Service Dogs as newborn puppies and begin to learn skills as young as three days old.“That puppy raiser is going to come to class, teach them basic skills taught by our trainers and practice great house manners with them in their home," explained Tack."We’re usually looking for a dog that is willing to work the crowd," she said.
“Whether that be someone who’s there to participate in a hearing that’s feeling very anxious or a staff member that has had to absorb some of that trauma from listening to someone’s story," she said. Several neighboring counties already have a dog in their courthouse. Susquehanna Service Dogs has trained courthouse facility dogs for Cumberland, York, and Lancaster Counties.
